Flowers rs • are blooming out -doors, and there is neither ice to chop, snow to shovel, nor cellar furnace to care for. Recently fires have been necessary on account of a few days' damp weather. Rains have fallen plentifully, but these rains mean wealth -storing up prosperity for the country, piling up snow on tite high mountains, for sum- mer rivulets. Fuel is at a premium ; coal (when it can be had) $16 to $20 a ton ; gurn wood, ten inches long, $19 a cord, Los Angeles has grown so rapidly that the gas supply is inade- (muate, ,and as the citizens use gas to cook with and to heat their residences, inconvenience follows when the "gas is off." In such times cold meals are the result, yard many go to bed to keep warm. Dr, and Mrs. Towler re- side in the Routh -west residential part of ti te,' eat near L Y. the Southern ei' h n Cali- fornian University, and attend the University AI, E. Church, where Rev. Dr. Healy (a Canadian) is pastor.
